Additionally, there is a shortage of trained personnel who can manage and operate these systems efficiently, leading to suboptimal utilization (Zaman et al., 2020). Another challenge is the integration of these systems with existing healthcare infrastructure, which often lacks the necessary interoperability. Furthermore, the financial burden of implementing and maintaining these systems can be substantial, making it difficult for community health centers to adopt them widely. 6.2 Difficulties in enhancing caregiver participation and strategies to address them Enhancing caregiver participation in community health assessment systems is fraught with difficulties. Caregivers often face time constraints and may lack the necessary training to use these systems effectively (Straßner et al., 2019). Additionally, there is often a lack of motivation and awareness among caregivers about the benefits of these systems, which can lead to low engagement. To address these issues, it is essential to provide comprehensive training programs for caregivers, focusing on the practical use of these systems and the benefits they offer. Moreover, involving caregivers in the design and development process of these systems can help in creating more user-friendly interfaces that cater to their needs (Matthew-Maich et al., 2016). Providing incentives and support, such as respite care and financial compensation, can also encourage greater participation from caregivers. 6.3 Solutions for ensuring data privacy and patient safety within community health assessment systems Ensuring data privacy and patient safety within community health assessment systems is crucial for their successful implementation. One of the primary concerns is the risk of data breaches, which can compromise sensitive patient information. To mitigate this risk, it is essential to implement robust encryption protocols and secure data storage solutions (Wu et al., 2021). Additionally, regular audits and compliance checks should be conducted to ensure that the systems adhere to data protection regulations. Another important aspect is educating both patients and healthcare providers about the importance of data privacy and the measures in place to protect their information (Wu et al., 2022). Implementing multi-factor authentication and access controls can further enhance the security of these systems, ensuring that only authorized personnel can access sensitive data. 7 Policy and Practical Recommendations 7.1 Policy measures to support the implementation of community health assessment systems To facilitate the widespread adoption of community health assessment systems for chronic disease management, it is essential for policymakers to implement supportive measures. Policies should focus on providing financial resources for developing and maintaining infrastructure, especially in under-resourced areas. Funding grants and subsidies can encourage the adoption of these systems at community and healthcare provider levels (Liu and Wu, 2023). Regulations should also mandate the integration of data privacy protocols and adherence to national or international standards such as HIPAA or GDPR to ensure patient safety (Wu et al., 2021). Additionally, policies that foster partnerships between public health departments and local healthcare facilities can accelerate implementation and improve healthcare access for elderly populations (Yao and Cao, 2021). 7.2 Effective incentive mechanisms to promote caregiver participation Promoting caregiver participation in chronic disease management can be achieved through well-designed incentive mechanisms. Financial incentives, such as stipends or performance-based bonuses, can motivate caregivers to engage actively in patient care (Figure 2) (Gibbs et al., 2021). Non-monetary incentives, including professional development opportunities and recognition programs, can also enhance caregiver commitment and morale. Offering flexible work schedules and training programs that provide caregivers with specialized knowledge and skills improves their competence and long-term involvement (Hernández-Padilla et al., 2023). These incentives can be reinforced through policy measures that recognize caregiving as a vital component of the healthcare system. 7.3 Integrating innovative technologies to strengthen chronic disease management The integration of innovative technologies, such as telemedicine and health apps, plays a critical role in enhancing chronic disease management within community health assessment systems. Telemedicine facilitates remote consultations, reducing the need for elderly patients to travel for medical advice and allowing for more frequent
